A fiend of mine had a grandfather in WW I and gave him his 1911 with all the belts and leather. In addition, he gave him a box of ammo like I have never seen before or after. The diagram on the box showed multiple layered bullet heads. Like 3 separate heads, I presume that after firing, they would seperate. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I have at least 15 different 1911s, some modern, some from WW-1 and some from WW-2. I love the trigger but hate the weight for EDC. My daily carry is either a SIG P228 or a SIG P220 Carry.

[I would add a photo by Photobucket sucks and I can't upload images to KTF!]

My mother-in-law gave me her grandfather's 1911 from WW-1 for Christmas last year, along with its original holster, magazine, his military records and a photo of him in uniform. I cherish it!

No longer in production, S&W 945 Performance Center 3 3/4" barrel. Not a 1911 and totally different from the grip angle to the spherical Briley barrel bushing, to the internal barrel/ frame lockup. This one is an early first production, no -1 for firing pin block. Performance wise, smooth as silk and what you expect from a PC gun. Other barrel lengths of 3 1/4", and 5"; also stainless models. Mine was made around 2000 and came in the custom aluminum case.
Would be as close as you could get to a 1911 Officers Model. Great gun, collectible, and a super accurate shooter.

Yes ! Had several thru the years, now all I have is a Colt lightweight Commander in .38 Super circa 1951 with Coltwood grips. I also still have a Star PD .45 acp bought in the seventies.

If you had several 945's I'm envious.

Warren,
I had the stainless version of those in all 3 sizes.
They were super accurate!!!Guy told me he wanted them and I told him they weren't for sale.He wrote a $ amount on a piece of paper
and handed it to me and we have both been happy ever since.

Billy,

Prices are heading north on these pistols. Glad you had the experience and yes super accurate.

Which do y'all prefer in 1911?

.45 acp or 10mm?

If you have to ask...
